We know that many of you are preparing for the first ever written paper for GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition this week. It is both nerve-racking and exciting. Good Luck to everyone!
It was also good to see the Collins EDUQAS revision guide reach schools in time.
They have just started a new group in Sheffield, so feel free to see if you can help them get set up, or check out the others around the country too.
Recently Facebook have been letting us test some great new features to make our closed group an even better place to share good practice and learn from each other. We have used the Polls feature to do surveys in the past and this has been updated. We are also making great use of the new TOPICS (these are threads where posts about the same thing can be grouped under a Topic). We have made good use of this to post all the vacancies and job hunters in one place to make it easy to look for a new job or find staff. Come inside the group, as many of these features do not work if you only view the posts in your newsfeed.
Springboard's KickStart programme specialises in supporting young people, who are at risk of leaving full-time education without a positive outcome (i.e. Not in Education, Employment or Training), towards further education opportunities, apprenticeships and/or careers in the hospitality, leisure and tourism industry.
Have a great Healthy Eating Week!
This course is designed for those with no food qualifications, and for some, is their first food accreditation. A presentation will be held for them, and their guests on THURSDAY 12th July. But if you would like to attend, please RSVP here.
Everyone will be presented with a certificate and 'In a Class of Its Own' Book.
– cooking and tasting great game (pheasant) recipes.
This is then followed up with a free game delivery for the class to be able to implement their new skills.
Look for for the new registration in the autumn ready fo the new game season.
Free books for all our attendees! Great resources to give away.
Presenters: Stefan Gates, plus Food Teachers Centre Associates – Louise Davies, Barbara Monks, Barbara Rathmill, Jacqui Keepin, Julie Messenger, Sally Rowe (Chancellors School), Sheila Watts (Waddesdon School), Sandra Heinze (Hall Mead School), Frances Meek and Alex White (British Nutrition Foundation), Dr Caroline Millman (with Chilled Food Association and Sheffield hallam University), and John Bassett (Institute of Food Science and Technology, Love Food Love Science).
For those teaching GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, and Level 3 Diploma in Food Science and Nutrition. There will be an exciting combination of food science demonstrations, presentations on careers and skills needed in the food science industry and workshops of best practice in delivering the current GCSE (AQA, EDUQAS, OCR) and WJEC Diploma courses.
Stefan Gates is a television presenter, author, broadcaster and live-show performer who writes mostly about food and science. You will have seen his recent BBC programmes – Secret Life of your Favourite Dishes and Gasto Lab. He has written six books about extraordinary food and cooking, and has presented 14 TV series mostly for the BBC, including Cooking in the Danger Zone about unusual food from the world's more dangerous and difficult places. He develops half of these TV series himself, including the CBBC children's food adventure series Gastronuts and Incredible Edibles. Stefan presented BBC One's Food Factory.
Attend an exam board specific workshop to embed the teaching of food science in KS3, GCSE and beyond, including advice on improving the management of NEA and GCSE.
This course focuses on the new GCSE and how it is possible to support lower ability learners through the course and improve their performance. It provides intervention strategies and ideas that you can implement immediately with your Y10 and Y11. This course covers all boards AQA, EDUQAS and OCR.
– What are the issues for lower ability learners on the new courses and how can they be addressed?
– Choosing your board and exam. What are the alternatives to the GCSE exam for lower ability learners?
Each workshop focuses on a particular exam course. There are two parts to the day. In the morning, you will work alongside an experienced teacher practitioner who guides you through how they have successfully planned and taught the course, how they have addressed issues and gained good performance from their students. The afternoon is a hands-on practical skills session to develop your knowledge understanding and personal skills.
– Setting homework, assessments and mocks.
– Revision for the examination and strategies for approaching the paper.
All teachers will be given access to a Digital delegate folder that will contain the presentations, example recipes, checklists and handouts that you can use with your classes.
Our next face to face!
This on-line course is designed for all who teach and support in food activities in school, this includes teachers, technicians, teaching assistants / higher-level teaching assistants, trainee teachers, special needs support staff and cookery club leaders.
Why do we recommend that you do this course and not just a Level 2?
This training leads Level 2 Food Safety certificate but offers much more for a practising food teacher. The course is delivered by experienced food teachers, so instead of a generic course about 'Food Safety in Catering' the content is delivered in the school context. It includes essential planning and teaching information, risk assessment and other documentation relating to safe working practices. It explains food hygiene and safety, personal hygiene and safety related directly to classroom practice.
What are Food Science Tutorials?
Food Science tutorials are recorded presentations by Barbara Monks for food teachers. They teach you the food science of proteins, fats and carbohydrates so that you can confidently answer your pupil's questions. Three separate presentations cover the chemical and physical aspects of each of the major food groups. You can follow them at your own pace and they take you step by step.
The presentations include ideas for ways to teach food science with images and photos to support the teacher and suggestions for delivering food investigations (NEA 1) as required by all the examination boards. Coverage is designed to meet the needs of practical food work whilst also including molecular level science. Key terms from GCSE Food preparation and nutrition specifications are explained and related to practical work.
Tutorials are £40 each or £100 for the set of three.
Look our for the new COLLINS EDUQAS GCSE revision guide.
Based on new research that proves repeated practice testing is more effective than repeated study, this revision series is guaranteed to help students achieve the best results.
Seven practice opportunities for every topic covered in GCSE.
Volunteer Associates and Ambassadors throughout the UK with a passion for 'Better Food Teaching'.

AT ANNIVERSARY EVENT OF PASSING OF
ECONOMIC PLAN
Old Executive Office Building
THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you all. We've established one thing beyond doubt. We all have enough sense to come in out of the rain. (Laughter.)
Thank you, Mr. Quimby, and thank all of you. We've had representatives of four fine companies speak here today -- the head of one of our largest corporations; the head of a medium-sized hightech company, growing and growing into the world economy; the head of a small company that's doubled the number of -- or now a man that's moved from a small job to a large job in a small company that's growing very rapidly; and a new employee. The Vice President and I wanted these folks here for this announcement today because they represent what our efforts are all about.
I said the other night in my press conference that there are a lot of lobby groups in Washington, but I wanted the White House to be known as the "home office of the American Association of Ordinary Citizens." And what I mean by that is that in this time of profound change, what we need to be doing is figuring out how we can make the changes necessary together to enable all of our people to live up to their potential, to fulfill their dreams, to move into the next century with the American Dream alive in every family, and with American leadership secure. And when I sought this job, I was convinced that would require some changes in my political party, some change in the other political party, and some changes in the way we do our work here in Washington.
If you listen to the four stories here, that's really what's behind all these arcane arguments and all the political rhetoric over economic policy: The simple question of whether people will be able to pursue their destinies and their dreams and live up to the fullest of their abilities. I could never hope to say it any better than these four people did, and I think we should give them all another round of applause. (Applause.)
Today, we celebrate because this morning, as the chart to my left shows, the Labor Department reported that since our administration came into office, our economy has produced more than four million new jobs, almost all of them in the private sector. Now, as we know, when I ran for office, I said I thought we could produce 8 million new jobs in four years, and that we would do four by the end of '94. So we're six months ahead of schedule. (Applause.)
I do want to correct one thing. You know, I get criticized sometimes for my attention to detail, but I want to show you this. Where is it? I asked for this pen this morning when I looked at this chart because when I looked at the numbers, there are actually not four million new jobs, but 4.1 million new jobs. And now that we're out of the rain, I'm going to make a correction on it. (Laughter and applause.)
Manufacturing jobs have been increasing in this country for seven months in a row now for the first time in 10 years. All the jobs created last month -- 100 percent of them -- were in the private sector, not in government. Companies like Kenlee Precision have added those second and third shifts -- jobs that made it possible for people like Charles Quimby to get ahead. Companies like Ellicott Machine have been able to hire new workers like Frankie McLaurin. Executive like Bob Eaton and Carol Bartz are making a good beginning in this remarkable partnership we have to renew America. And they described to you, perhaps better than I could, what the role of the national government is in their agenda for the future -- what we should be doing, and what we should not be doing.
None of this has been easy. Indeed, I have been mystified since I got here about why some of these things are as hard as they are, and why they take as long as they do. One of the problems is that in this town, sometimes words replace reality. In the computer business and in high technology, virtual reality is a very good thing. It enables you to replicate situations and to avoid future problems. In Washington, I'm not sure we have virtual reality, I think what we have up here is virtual unreality, which is a bad thing because it enables you to almost dehumanize problems and turn them into words and rhetoric and labels. And we have all these word battles up here that don't seem to make any sense to ordinary people.
Once in a while I watch the evening news, and I'm usually working when it's on -- once in a while I watch it, and I see the way we're presented, and I look at that and I say, well, heck, if I was still back home I wouldn't be for that guy either. (Laughter.) Just because of the way it all plays out. You know, it's so -- it's kind of unreal. And what we've got to do is find ways to bring reality, your reality, the way you look at the world, the way you live with the world every day, into the decision-making of this town.
And that's what we did when we passed that economic plan. Bob Eaton had it right. He said, well, he wouldn't have done it in the same way we did, but he was glad we got the job done. Well, that's the way I feel about his cars. I don't have any idea if I'd make the same decisions he makes on everything, but they make awful good cars and I'm glad they got the job done. In the end, that's the way we should judge ourselves.
And we did the best we could with that economic program, considering the fact that at the moment of voting we had no help from the other side. They said the sky would fall. One of them -- and I quote -- said, "Taxes will go up. The economy will sputter along. The deficit will reach another record high. It's a recipe for disaster." That was wrong. (Laughter and applause.) That was wrong.
What did we do? We did have a tax increase on the wealthiest Americans, but it's still -- the rates are well below where they were in 1980. And all the money went to pay down the deficit and to finance a tax break for 15 million working families who were just above the poverty line, and we didn't want them to go back to welfare. We wanted to encourage people with low wages to keep working and to keep raising their kids, and to stick by the American Dream. There were too many people who were giving up work for welfare, and we wanted it to be the reverse. So I plead guilty to that.
We also cut $255 billion in spending, and we passed a tough budget that helped to drive those interest rates down, get this economy going again. This year, we're about to pass another tough budget that eliminates 100 government programs outright, contains the first reduction in domestic discretionary spending in 25 years in outright reductions, and continues to drive that deficit down, while increasing the money we're spending to empower people to succeed in the global economy. More for education and training; more for Head Start for little kids. The establishment of a lifetime learning system for world-class standards in our public schools. More apprenticeships for young people who get out of high school and don't want to go to college. And our economic program made it possible for 20 million Americans to refinance their college loans at lower interest rates and better repayment terms. That is the direction in which we ought to be going.
And, finally, as you heard Carol and Bob talking about, we're trying to expand the barriers of trade, or tear down the barriers and expand the frontiers. Frankie said that Ellicott was doing well largely because of NAFTA. They also said -- a different group said that the sky would fall if we did that. But, there, we had a bipartisan majority fighting for change. We passed it; our car sales in Mexico were growing five times as fast as they did before NAFTA was passed. Mexico is now our fastest-growing trading partner. Even though their economy is in a down period, we're still having explosive growth. Think what it will be like when they start to grow again. This is very important.
We're trying to sell airplanes all around the world. We just announced a new shipbuilding initiative. The Trade Ambassador, Mr. Kantor, has resolved agricultural disputes with Canada. We're selling rice to Japan for the first time. We are moving in to the global economy, and we are working on these things. And I don't know that these things fall very neatly into the kind of words people throw at each other here in this town. Is it liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat? I don't know and I don't care; I just want people to be able to work and to do well and to have this economy grow.
And I know to do that -- when we have the deficit coming down for three years in a row for the first time since Truman was President, when we're moving toward the smallest federal government that we've had since Kennedy was President, and when the economy is growing this rapidly -- last year we had more businesses formed than in any year since World War II -- we're not doing bad. We've got to get rid of the rhetoric and go back to reality. (Applause.)
And I would say this: The future looks good. Fortune Magazine predicts for the first time in 10 years, the economy in every state in America will grow next year; and that is very good. Most businesses expect to grow next year and to expand. And consumer confidence is high.
But we have to continue to face the tough problems up here. And one of the things that I hope very much will happen is that the experience that we had working through these economic problems and the results that have been achieved when you take on a problem, risks of unpopularity in the short run, even if you win by the narrowest of margins, if you actually address a problem, you get results. That is very good because that proves that Washington is not all that unreal after all, that there really is some connection to our lives up here and the way you live where you are. Because if you ignore the problems in these four companies 10 years from now, there won't be anybody from your companies to show up here and talk at the White House.
In the end, you have to face the challenges before you. We are now seeing that again. We have some challenges ahead of us. The Congress must -- must -- approve the worldwide GATT trade agreement that we negotiated, that we got agreement on, but the Congress has to enact it. It will mean a tax cut in the form of lower tariffs and lower costs for Americans, and people all across the world of -- listen to this -- $744 billion over the next 10 years. It will create hundreds of thousands of high-paying American jobs. We have got to finish the job on the trade issue. The next step is GATT. (Applause.)
Before I close, I want to mention two other issues, but it's the same point -- problems you can't run away from. We must address the health care situation this year -- not just for the people who don't have health insurance, but for the people who do but who pay too much for it and who could lose it; not just for the companies who don't provide health care, but for the companies who do and pay too much for it.
Why have the Big Three automakers supported us in health reform all along? Because one of the reasons we lost jobs and market share in the automobile industry is that they were paying too much for health care. And one of the reasons they were paying too much for health care is they were paying for all the people in this country who don't cover themselves and who don't do their own part.
Now, here are some basic facts that nobody can ignore. We can all disagree on the solution; nobody can ignore these facts. Of all the countries in the world, we spend more than anybody else on health care by a long ways, but we're the only major country that doesn't cover everybody with health insurance. Of all the countries in the world with which we compete, we are the only one going in the wrong direction. Today there are 5 million Americans -- 85 percent of them working people and their kids -- who are in this country today who do not have health insurance, who had it five years ago. So we're going in the wrong direction.
We have problems here with people who have health insurance but could lose it if they change jobs, somebody in their family gets sick, they have a preexisting condition, or the cost of the policy goes through the roof.
Yesterday, I gave awards to four young Americans who have done heroic things and important community service. The United States has been doing this through the Justice Department for the last 44 years. One of these young Americans was the daughter of a farmer, who happens to be a Republican, in the panhandle of Oklahoma. She was injured and paralyzed from here down in a car wreck in 1990. This girl -- a beautiful girl -- could have given up on life, but instead, she decided she would devote herself to try and encourage other young people not to drink and drive and not to ride with people who drink and drive, and always put their seatbelts on in a car. She was going to try to help other people avoid what had happened to her.
And her daddy is just a hard-working farmer, she's got a sister who is a lovely girl, she's got a wonderful mother. They were paying over $3,000 a year for a limited health insurance policy with very high deductibles. All of her costs were a couple of years ago, attendant on her wreck. This is four years later, they were just notified that their insurance premiums were going from $3,100 a year to $9,300 a year. And this farmer is going to have to drop his insurance.
Now, with these two wonderful kids, he's got to figure out how they're going to college, what they're going to do, living out there in a little town in western Oklahoma. And like he told me, he said, you know, this is not a political deal -- he said, I'm a Republican, I'm a conservative, I don't want the government to do anything for me, but we need some help here; there's something wrong if I can't take care of my family hard as I'm working.
So, again, I say to the members of Congress on this, let's just do something about this. Most small businesses in America are struggling to provide health care, and they're paying too much for it, because they can't get the same rates that big business and government gets.
Some big businesses, like Chrysler, are paying too much for it because when people who don't have health insurance get sick, they still get care; they go to the emergency room and then their costs are passed along to everybody else in higher hospital bills and higher insurance premiums.
We know -- we know that something works. We know what they do in Hawaii works. It's the only state where employers and employees are required to split the difference and cover health insurance. And we know that even though most everything else in Hawaii is more expensive than it is on the mainland because it's way out there in the Pacific, health insurance costs for small business are 30 percent lower there than the national average. Why? Because everybody has to pay something, but you're only paying for yourself, you're not paying for anybody else, number one, and number two, because small- and medium-sized companies get to band together in big buying groups so they can buy insurance with the same competitive power as Chrysler and the federal government. So we know that works.
So I just think I would say again, all I ask of any of you is to ask the members of Congress to put aside partisanship, rhetoric and this sort of word-throwing, and let's just think about the people of America; just like we do here -- 4.1 Americans who have jobs -- all different races, all different religions, all different political groups. All I know is, we're better off that they're in that line. And we'd be better off if we solved the health care problem, and we're going to pay a terrible price if we don't.
One last issue I want to mention: I went to the Justice Department last week for what was a great celebration. We had hundreds of police officers there to celebrate the fact that after six years of bickering, the House and the Senate had both passed crime bills and had agreed on a common bill through their conference committees to send back so that each one of them could pass identical bills, so that I could sign a crime bill into law that would give us 100,000 police officers on the street -- that's a 20 percent increase -- that would ban 19 kinds of assault weapons and protect 650 hunting and sporting weapons, to make sure that this was not a gun control issue, this was an assault weapons issue; that would ban handgun ownership by minors; provide for safe schools; provide for three strikes and you're out, tough penalties, more prison cells and billions of dollars for prevention programs to give children something to say yes to, as well as something to say no to -- the biggest, toughest, smartest crime bill this country's ever passed.
Unbelievably, after eight days, nothing has happened. The bills are there. We need it. The American people know how bad we need it. The Democratic mayors and the Republican mayors have endorsed it. The Democratic governors and the Republican governors have endorsed it. Every police organization in the country, the attorney generals, the local prosecutors out there in the country where people know that crime strikes people without regard to race or political party -- everybody is for this crime bill. But here the crime bill is stuck in a web spun by a powerful special interest.
You see, before a bill can come to vote in the House of Representatives, it has to be voted out of the Rules Committee. And then the House has to vote first on whether the bill's going to actually be brought to a vote -- not on the bill, but whether it's going to be brought to a vote. It's a procedure.
The National Rifle Association is trying to block the vote on the rule because they are against the assault weapons ban, because they know that a majority of the House and the Senate will vote for this bill if it gets to a vote. So they are trying to block the vote on the rule, hoping that people can hide and say, well, I didn't really vote against the bill, but there was something about the way it was coming up I didn't like.
I got a letter from a kid from New Orleans last spring who asked me to do something about the crime problem. He said, "I'm nine years old and I'm really scared that something's going to happen to me." And nine days later that kid was shot dead. Now, we've been waiting for eight days for a vote on this crime bill. We have debated this. We fought the assault weapons ban. I thought the NRA was going to win, but we won fair and square. We only won by two votes, but we won -- the police officers and those of us who don't want the cops to be outgunned. It was a fair and square deal. We won. And we won in the Senate. And it's in the bill. And I didn't think we could beat them, but we did. We worked like crazy, and we did.
It is wrong to let the NRA -- and other interest groups, too, to be fair, who have some other bone to pick with this bill, but who know it cannot be defeated on the merits, to use a procedural vote to keep the American people from getting the police, from the kids from getting this prevention money, from the people from getting the three strikes and you're out law, from the police from getting the help they need with the prisons and all the rest of this. This is a good deal, and we're not paying for it with a tax increase. We're paying for it by reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy by more than a quarter of a million between now and 1999.
And I want to plead with you to ask the Congress over the weekend not to let procedure get in the way of saving the lives and the future of the United States. We showed up here to make decisions. If anybody wants to vote against the crime bill, let them vote against it. There are people who are going to vote against it because they're honestly opposed to capital punishment, or because they're honestly opposed to the assault weapons ban, or because they're honestly opposed to the prevention funds. Let them vote against it. That's fine.
But do not let us pull another Washington, D.C. game here and let this crime bill go down on some procedural hide and seek. If we're going to have a shoot out, let's do it in high noon, broad daylight, where everybody knows what the deal is. (Applause.)


Madhya Pradesh is the central part of India. It was divided in two parts in 2000, one remained Madhya Pradesh and the other became Chhattisgarh. The undivided Madhya Pradesh was formed on November, 1,1965. The capital of MP is Bhopal. It has five major cities, Indore, Bhopal the capital, Gwalior, Jabalpur and Ujjain and is divided into many divisions, fourty five district, two hundred Block. Each Block has fifty village and each division has twelve districts. Madhya Pradesh is the richest state in India. Before the Madhya Pradesh was divided the population was 60,385,118(India census 2001) with about fifty percent being men. The geographical area is 4434459 Km.( 1 Mile = 1.6 KM) One of the oldest district is Dhar, which is the ancient city of Madhya Pradesh and king Bhoj was the ruler there, so the name of the district had been Bhoj. In ancient times Vairisimha II was the king and the capital was Ujjain.
When King Bhoj again became king the he moved the capital the Dhar, during the independence war fort Dhar became important part in the freedom fight and has produced many freedom fighters. Many tribes played an important role like the Bhils, Rajpurohit, and Rajptut. The authority of the state was in opposition to the British who took revenge on the local people. They dragged civilians from their houses, fields and killed them. They looted their properties. The ladies were dishonored after the revolt. The Dhar district was the main target of British during the freedom fight. Madhya Pradesh has many large tribes and casts like the Bhill, Gonda, Chamar, Kalal, Rajpurohit, Khols ,and many more tribes are in Madhya Pradesh. The rest population of Hindu, including, Rajput (land lord) and many more mixture in Hindu. The cast system is prejudice in this state. With fixed places for tribes and schedule cast are there. Every cast has its own festivals, custom and food. There is one important festival of Bhils, they cut the animal in front of their God. They believe that if they sacrifice animal to God will be happy and their wishes will come true. Madhya Pradesh is the heart of India.

Everyone, not least the water regulator, needs to realize that fixing our burgeoning eutrophication problem is going to take many, many years – and the longer we leave off getting started, the longer it will take before we see benefits. The cleanup coordinator for Lake Champlain, Julie Moore, recently made this point as she moved on to new pastures. She summed up "So just doing the math, it's a 50-year plan. And frankly, it will take longer," she said. "We've been picking the low-hanging fruit in our (clean-up) work. Solutions are going to get more technically challenging and expensive." South Africa has been dodging the expensive option, in vain search for a silver bullet, for decades – and continues to do so. At the same time, climate change will result in a higher frequency of toxic algal blooms, with the duration of such blooms becoming increasingly sustained. The effect of these changes on human and animal health are expected with 30 years.
All in all a quiet week. Perhaps the most interesting and potentially very worrying are concerns raised in German dailies (see also and also) regarding risks to health from cyanobacterial preparations, such as those made from cultures of Spirulina and Aphanizomenon. For some time there have been muttered concerns about the advisability of these supplements and, oddly, there have been no comments from the scientific community. Personally, I am not sure how these preparations made it through FDA and similar approvals. I know people who became very ill indeed after short periods of taking them. However, one manufacturer claims that in Germany, physicians are using algae to treat children with ADHD instead of the traditional Ritalin!
The second important issue is the announcement that the microcystin toxins produced by cyanobacteria may well be estrogenic – i.e. compounding the pharmaceutical EDC problem our surface waters already face. This implies that the feminization problems we are seeing may have more to do with nutrient enrichment than we thought – but long expected!
On the one hand we see more and more lakes becoming economic deadweights and health risks, such as Lake Bolac, Victoria, Australia, while, on the other, we have politicians and lawmakers overruling water quality standards necessary to prevent the problem! – on the grounds that the standards are too onerous for the industries that cause the pollution in the first place! Sounds familiar though – in South Africa we live in a country where water pollution has been aided and abetted by years of exemptions alleviating the need to treat effluent properly!
Money talks and makes an oxymoron out of sustainable development!
Are we headed this way?
I believe that the measure of maturity of a nation is reflected in the level of compassion that its citizens show for each other. Based on the daily reports in the newspapers (greed, corruption, crime, wilful ignorance, wilful denial) South Africa appears to be on the wrong end of the maturity scale.
The behaviour of roadusers perhaps reflects this. Last week I was trapped in the bumper to bumper afternoon traffic out of Cape Town, on the strip towards the R300 offramp. No-one could do more than creep along. Then, in the yellow shoulder, comes a small, white Corsa-type car, four males inside, at high speed, past everybody. Alongside us a pedestrian just managed to twist out of the way. Then, a few hundred meters further on, came the unpleasant sight of a man on a bicycle being hurled high into the air. When we passed the scene the occupants, in a now substantially-damaged vehicle, were getting out, some with drinks in hand.
Ubuntu – what is that exactly?
The authorities at Yarrow Bay (Lake Washington, USA) have declared that here will be "no net increase" of phosphorus runoff into the lake from the two developments it is planning in Black Diamond, The Villages and Lawson Hills, i.e. the pre-development condition will be maintained so that the effect of extant loadings will not get worse. At Hayden Lake (Idaho), an ecologically-important piece of land above the lake has been purchased to prevent it from being developed.
Why do we have a Water Crisis ?
1. Thirty-five percent (35%) of our dams exceed acceptable limits of nutrient enrichment, creating a situation in which potentially-toxic algal blooms occur with increasing frequency. The National Water Resource Strategy (NWRS 2004) lists a higher figure, forty-two percent (42%). Most of these dams are in Gauteng.
2. The main source of the nutrient enrichment is from phosphorus contained in wastewater (sewage effluents), as well as contributions from urban runoff, agriculture and industry.
3. Stripping of phosphorus from wastewater to ecologically-acceptable levels is not yet practiced in South Africa.
A somewhat pointless article appears today in what appears to be a local government newsletter entitled "Service" – a tad ironic as 'service' seems to be what's missing from local government, unless you live in the Western Cape. The article I refer to is entitled "Freshwater A Global Crisis" and creates the impression, perhaps not intentionally, that we need not worry about our problems because they are cosmopolitan (!). This type of argument, in a generally poorly-informed society, can be very damaging as it can be clutched at by the naysayers. The article goes on to list various internet-sourced factoids about the global water situation.

Posted on 26/03/2019 12/02/2020 by Mangiasti? Southern Italian Cuisine
Welcome to Mangiasti?
Our "storia": North Shore's finest Italian restaurant for fresh Pasta and authentic Italian cuisine
Welcome to Mangiasti? We are a cosy Italian restaurant in Roseville Chase, bringing culture, traditional food, and a piece of the Italian atmosphere straight from the region of Calabria to Sydney's North Shore.
Inspired by the vibrant and historical streets of the south of Italy, our restaurant design is unique. Downstairs, the courtyard-style restaurant is warmed by the open-kitchen and wine bar. While upstairs, the lights glow in a homely dining room, inspired by our co-owner Davide's grandma's house.
""My nonna's house was simple, cosy and full of atmosphere", explains Davide. "She would always have food cooking on the fire and delicious antipasto on the table, while the children ran around and the grownups chatted. Everyone was welcome and shared in the cooking and eating."
"That's our goal; to give locals the full Southern Italian experience on their doorstep and create somewhere they too can catch up, share a bottle of wine, savour some homemade fresh pasta dish and just relax."
Davide, born in Rombiolo, Southern Italy, has been in Australia for 10 years. For ten years' managing one of Darling Harbour's busiest restaurants, his desire to open his own restaurant only grew stronger.
He worked alongside George, a Greek Australian, with strong ties to the suburb in Northern Sydney. Having formed a great working relationship, it was a natural progression to go into business together to make their restaurant dreams a reality.
"Our new restaurant may be in Roseville Chase, but it feels like a street from my village – even the sign is based on a street sign where I grew up", says Davide. "The busy chatter, the cobbled floors, and the indoor plants climbing up the walls, all remind me of my childhood. The smell of the Linguine al Cartoccio baking in the oven reminds me of my mom's Sunday lunch at home."
George is certain that their friendship formed over a shared passion for food, which is key to the restaurant's success. "Everybody wanted to be friends with Davide, so I had to be friends with him too", he reminisces. "When we both realised we had the same dream, we had to open the restaurant. It has been a hard journey, doing a lot of the building ourselves, but we always had a strong vision of what we wanted to achieve."
"I love the authenticity of our restaurant, everywhere you look, something catches your senses. The letter box, the sound of our busy kitchen,, the smell of the ragù after eight hours bubbling on the stove, and even looking up to see the decorative pigeons sitting in holes.
At Mangiasti? we have worked hard to create an irresistible menu, all made from fresh and traditional ingredients. For George it's just one of the perks.
"I'm surrounded by great food every day! I love the way the cherry tomatoes are simmered and the way the snapper fillet is so soft. I can't resist the Porchetta Romana, a savory, fatty, and juicy pork belly slow cooked for twelve hours is surely the best Italian culinary tradition there is" attests George.
Our door to Italy is always open (except Mondays and Tuesdays when we rest!). Please come along with your friends and family and enjoy the rich and delicious flavours of Southern Italian cooking at its finest, in one of Sydney's most atmospheric Italian restaurants!.

Man... these shots make me want to play Syndicate right now.
These are cool. Make me wanna play Syndicate right now as well! I fell in love with it when I first played it. London is so beautiful and everything is so atmospheric, familiar, homey. I just love it.
To me it is not just how locations and things are presented by the game, which is excellently done, it is certainly a beautiful game, but how Ubisoft presented city life in those very different boroughs of London. For example how men approach women in a more or less romantic way is quite different from borough to borough. What people do in their spare time and when they are able to. How children behave and what they are playing. Or think of boxing, every ring has a very different feel to it and the audience is matching it in voice and character. I spent a lot of time in parks, not just for those music boxes, but to listen to what people communicate about, same in railway stations or other locations where many people meet. IF one pays attention to these things, Ubisoft has put so much effort in presenting a lively victorian London in so many ways - it would really be sad to rush through the game and just do missions - there is so much more to discover, hear and see in Syndicate.
Precisely! As I went on with the game, I started accidentally discovering those little things and it filled me with joy so much, because you can see that Ubisoft gave their heart into it, you can feel the whole game as if it's a real thing.
They paid attention to everything and everyone. Each random character and NPC has a story of it's own. It's glorious.
I found a chimney sweep, Nelsons column looks brilliant, and I am really liking the shadows and the rust.
@strigoi1958 You play at 1440p? Damn, you must have an insane machine. What do you use to take screenshots? Afterburner?
In the 3rd the Thames really is that colour dirty brown.
In the 4th I liked the dirty windows and the herringbone pattern on the mans suit.
In the 5th I noticed the slimy green algae on the walls, again a really nice detail that I'd overlooked.
Then there are some outfits and scenery and sunset shots that I couldn't leave out.
In the 12th I just really liked the way the light came through the glass on the lamp.
Near the end we see the paintings and the ornate decor when we visit Queen Victoria.


Russia is the biggest country in the world. And there are many women there which are stated to be the most beautiful ones. There are many explanations to that fact it makes no sense to enumerate them, one just has to face the fact Russian ladies are the most desirable ones. They are not only valued for having a great appearance. Another reason they are being popular among those seeking for a happy marriage is the fact Russian girls are very loyal and caring.
It is really hard today to find a woman ready to go through any kind of difficulties with her partner. You face the fact that in case of any difficulties being in place, women consider an option to leave the partner. This is something rarely happening in Russia due to the fact there is cultivating another attitude to family life. It is a common thing almost all over the world to make a divorce, while in Russia society has a strongly negative attitude to that.
Marriage with Slavic girl will also bring you peace and comfort in the family life. It is known that most of Slavic women build career, cope with domestic chores and raise children simultaneously. Once you come home there always will be a dinner served in a clean and cozy apartment.
How to Date with Russian College Girls?
Before you marry Russian woman you should firstly get in touch with Russian college girls. It is a matter of a fact that they are seeking for any opportunity to meet a reliable partner for life. The reason of Slavic girls being concerned about a future marriage is the fact there are less men than women in Russia. They are trying to find someone to live with to avoid being alone for the rest of the life. And the foreigners are considered by them as a fortune. The best way to get in touch with one is to use one the popular dating services. It allows you to communicate with hundreds of beautiful Slavic girls at a low cost.
One should know that living in Russia can be hard and complicated, especially in small towns. And there are not enough options for young women to choose from. For example, it is possible to move to a big city like Moscow or St. Petersburg and try to find a good job and a future husband there. Another option is to apply to university, which provides poor education in a hometown. One will have a hard life with zero guarantees, it is better for young woman to find someone as fast as possible, as it is easier to cope with difficulties together.

Great News for Women in Texas
10/03/2013 06:21 pm ET Updated Jan 23, 2014
Today in Haltom City, at the place where she received her high school diploma, State Senator Wendy Davis announced her candidacy for governor of Texas.
Here's a sentence we don't get to say often enough: This is great news for women in Texas.
This summer, when Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst, and Attorney General Greg Abbott tried to force harsh restrictions on abortion through the state legislature, folks turned out by the thousands to speak out in Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Houston, San Antonio, Brownsville, and Austin. I've never seen anything like the outpouring of activism we witnessed, especially in Texas. Most of all, the night of the people's filibuster, folks in my home state got a glimpse of something we hadn't experienced in a while: democracy in action.
As we celebrate Wendy's historic announcement, I'm reminded of something that happened the day of the final vote in Austin. On my way into the Capitol that day, I saw a mother and her teenage son in orange T-shirts. When they saw us coming, the mom elbowed her son and said, "Show them your sign." He held it up. It said "I still have my mom thanks to cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood." His mother started to cry, and said, simply, "Thank you."
They came to Austin that day to thank Planned Parenthood and the thousands of people who were there speaking out for women's health and fighting for them when nobody else would. Through her historic, 11-hour filibuster, State Senator Wendy Davis gave a voice to the millions of people who have felt shut out of the political process.
The fact is, women in Texas are suffering. Over the past two years, 76 women's health centers have been forced to close their doors and stop providing affordable, lifesaving cancer screenings, birth control, STD testing, and basic preventive care. And when Governor Perry and his allies ended the Texas Women's Health Program, more than 130,000 women were shut off from accessing the health care they need, purely because of politics.
Texas women deserve better -- and Texas can do better.
The day my mother, Ann Richards, announced her plans to run, she quoted former Speaker of the House and fellow straight-talking Texan Sam Rayburn: "Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a carpenter to build one."
The contrast in this election is just as stark. Throughout her career, Wendy Davis has led the charge to build better schools, expand women's access to health care, and to make sure every Texan has a fair shot. She knows firsthand that women's ability to access family planning is key to their ability to get an education and pursue a career. She's taken on tough fights -- and as the world saw this summer, she doesn't give up.
Greg Abbott supports the policies that have left thousands of women in Texas with nowhere to turn for health care. He wants to end access to safe and legal abortion, and has supported shutting 76 women's health centers -- in some cases the only health care provider women visit. He epitomizes extreme positions on women's health that are opposed by the vast majority of Texans (and their doctors).
This election will have very real consequences for millions of women in Texas. The stakes are high, and the choice is clear: Wendy Davis knows Texas can't move forward if half the population is left behind. Greg Abbott would make a terrible situation even worse by cutting off health care to the women who need it most. Twenty-four years ago, they said a Democrat would never be elected Governor of Texas -- much less a Democratic woman.
The day my mother was sworn in, she said: "Today, we have a vision of a Texas where opportunity knows no race, no gender, no color -- a glimpse of the possibilities that can be when the barriers fall and the doors of government swing open."
"Tomorrow, we have to build that Texas." This summer, we saw what's possible when thousands of people come together to demand a say in our government and stand up for the Texas we know and love -- the Texas we want to see. Today, the task at hand is nothing less than building that Texas -- and that starts with electing Wendy Davis.

La nanocelulosa  es un material que consta de nanofibras de celulosa, que son una cadena de moléculas de celulosa de forma tubular alargada teniendo una marcada relación de aspecto longitud-diámetro. La tendencia o magnitud típica del diámetro es de 10 a 20 nanómetros y la de su longitud es de 10 veces o más la de su diámetro, esta propiedad geométrica de la molécula la hace muy sensible a diferentes campos de aplicación al tratarse de un polímero.La sustancia en gel tiene un comportamiento tixotrópico. La nanocelulosa se clasifica en tres tipos, celulosa microfibrilada (MFC), celulosa nanocristalina (NCC) y celulosa bacterial (NBC).

La nanocelulosa se extrae básicamente de cualquier fibra de celulosa como por ejemplo la pulpa de celulosa y puede presentarse de dos maneras, cristalina o aleatoria. Se obtiene a través de un proceso de homogeneización o sometimiento a altas presiones, que dado el caso la nanofibra será amorfa. Aquella obtenida a través de un proceso de hidrólisis ácida se denomina Nanocelulosa Cristalina ([NCC] por sus siglas en inglés) y compone un material mucho más rígido que el obtenido por homogeneización.

Historia

El término nanocelulosa o celulosa microfibrilada fue usado por primera vez en 1977, para designar un material gelatinoso translúcido, resultado de pasar pulpa de celulosa a través de un homogeneizador (llamado homogeneizador de leche tipo Gaulin para aquel entonces) y luego impactarla contra una superficie rígida. Dicho descubrimiento se le atribuyó al grupo de investigadores Turbak, Snyder y Sandberg que trabajaban en Whipanny, New Jersey para 'ITT Rayonier Labs'.
A pesar de que en los años 1950 ya se aplicaban tratamientos de ultrasonido, hidrólisis, oxidación y también homogeneización para desintegrar estructuras de celulosa. Fue el grupo de Turbak el que dispuso el resultado de las investigaciones de manera que pudiera haber un interés industrial sobre el material.

Producción

La producción de nanocelulosa se realiza generalmente a partir de la pulpa de celulosa de la madera a través de métodos de homogeneización (p.ej. homogenizadores ultrasónicos) y reticulación, procesos a través de los cuales se obtiene una molécula amorfa.

Para la producción de nanocelulosa cristalina se lleva a cabo el tratamiento de 'hidrólisis ácida'. La fibra de celulosa natural consta de regiones amorfas y regiones cristalinas. Las regiones amorfas son menos densas que las cristalinas de manera tal que al someter el material natural a la fuerza de la hidrólisis ácida (que es mayor que la de la homogeneización y reticulación), las regiones amorfas se rompen liberando las moléculas cristalinas (NCC). Existen diferentes tipos de hidrólisis pero en general la relación de aspecto 'L/D'(longitud/Diámetro) de las nanocelulosas cristalinas cambian con respecto a la fuente natural de celulosa.

Propiedades

Viscosidad

Cuando la concentración de nanocelulosa es baja, la viscosidad es poca, también es muy sensible a las fuerzas cizallantes ya que la viscosidad se anula en la presencia de estas.

Propiedades mecánicas

Las nanocelulosa con cierto grado de cristalinidad ha mostrado ser más resistente que el aluminio, más rígido que el kevlar, propiedades que también se ven mejoradas al elaborar películas de [NCC], que a su vez soportan mayores tensiones. La relación entre el peso y la resistencia es 8 veces más eficiente que el acero inoxidable, este material se postula para ser el reemplazo ecológico del grafeno.

Aplicaciones

La celulosa es uno de los polímeros más abundantes del planeta pudiendo ser una de las respuestas ecológicas más eficientes para la crisis energética y otros problemas ambientales, las aplicaciones de la [NCC] van desde la elaboración de pantallas para dispositivos electrónicos hasta el cultivo de órganos.

Usos

Para muchos de los siguientes usos solo se sabe que es posible, mas no se tiene certeza si se ha realizado de forma concreta o, por otro lado, no se ha efectuado dicho uso en forma masiva:
 En la elaboración de pantallas electrónicas flexibles, partes móviles para computadoras, armas livianas y vidrios blindados.
 Reemplaza el material metálico en la fabricación de automóviles y todo tipo de plástico no orgánico ya que, no solo es más ecológico, si no que posee mejores propiedades mecánicas.
 En la elaboración de baterías que se recargan al ser dobladas.
 Por ser fuerte y ligero se puede elaborar un gel ultrabsorbente capaz de soportar 10 mil veces su propio peso, sustituyendo los tampones y toallas femeninas.

Filtro

Así como el grafeno, la nanocelulosa puede filtrar todo tipo de líquidos, usándose así para filtrar transfusiones de sangre, sustancias químicas de los cigarrillos y generar agua potable incluso a partir de agua de mar.

Biocombustibles

Combustibles con cero emisiones de dióxido de carbono, o cualquier otro gas contaminante.

Papel

En la fabricación de papel la nanocelulosa crea enlaces fibra por fibra, generando un efecto de reforzamiento en los materiales de papelería.

Alimentos

La nanocelulosa se puede utilizar como un reemplazo bajo en calorías para los aditivos de hoy en día de hidratos de carbono utilizados como espesantes, portadores de aroma y estabilizadores de suspensión en una amplia variedad de productos alimenticios y es útil para la producción de rellenos, aplasta, chips, obleas, sopas, salsas, pudines, etc. La aplicaciones de alimentos fueron principios reconocidos como un campo de aplicación muy interesante para nanocelulosa debido al comportamiento reológico del gel nanocellulose.

White House only mentions D-Day anniversary twice, but opts for storm of tweets about another matter. . .
Yesterday was the 72nd anniversary of D-Day, but from looking at the White House's Twitter page, you'd never know.
The White House tweeted only twice about D-Day, while tweeting or retweeting seven times about the Denver Broncos, who were visiting the Obamas following their 2016 Super Bowl win.
"This team is far more than a collection of players. The @Broncos are a way of life not just in Colorado but throughout the Mountain West."


Bromo Mountain is become most touristic destination in East Java. mesmerising sun rise, view chain of volcanic mountain that never ending smoking, and traditional way of life of tengger peoples (local tribe who been living at mountain surround for long time ago) are the reason why peoples are keep coming. Is one among many beautiful places in the region which belong to National Park. The national covers a total area of 5,250 hectares with the hingest mountain in Java is part of it, Semeru mountains, 3676 meter above sea level.
Name of The National Park (Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park) is taken from main part of the area, first Bromo mountain. Second, Tengger is the name of local tribe (hindust peoples) who been living in the area for long time ago. Then the last is the Semeru is also the name of mountain, which is the highest mountain in Java. The National Park is lies right in the border of 4 different cities, Lumajang Region, Pasuruan Region, Probolinggo Region and Malang city region. that why there are many route to get into this national park. Every route that you take has particular advantage and disadvantage. the most common route is from Probolinggo, cos the route will lead you to the villager area and also hotel area.
Mountain Bromo derived from a Brahma (hinduism) a hindu God. Bromo is still active volcanoes known as icon in east java. Mount Bromo has to be one of the easiest volcano to climb while it is equipped with stairs to reach the crater lips, as the local Tengger people do the ceremony once a year climbing up to the crater lips and throw the harvests as gifts to the God.
Another panoramic view right next to the crater still waiting to be discovered, an experience to stroll around the black sand desert while riding local race horses and an imaginative green savana as we call it Teletubbies Hills.
Enjoy the vast expanse of ocean the witness stand semeru, reached to the heavens, and look beautiful sun go out from East or otherwise enjoy the evening of the ridge, Bromo experience is not forgotten.
Starting from 03.30 am, local driver will pick you up from the Hotel. Going to Pananjakan to enjoy your spectacular of Bromo Sunrise.
People from around the world came to see the sunrise Bromo. The landscape is astonishing and you will hear only a moment when the tourists as taken by capturing which cannot be found elsewhere. At sunrise extraordinarily where you will see the foreground mountain semeru that emit smoke in the distance, and the sun shone rising into the sky. Mountain Bromo its Tengger inhabited by people who believe that this mountain Bromo is where a prince living at the expense of his family. People here do festival Yadnya Kasada or Kasodo once a year to offer vegetables, chicken and it is in the crater of an extinct volcano to offer to God.

Moon Knight #18: Scrappin' In the Rain
Moon Knight #18 – written by Jed MacKay with art by Federico Sabbatini, colors from Rachelle Rosenberg, and letters by VC's Cory Petit – brings the current fight between Tutor and his vampire pyramid scheme and Moon Knight's Midnight Mission to a close. Picking up at the conclave of the bloodsuckers, Moon Knight makes his move in dismantling the operation with Tigra. The two receive back-up in the form of Reese and Soldier breaking into the building's systems, and the return of a thought-dead ally.
Using an ingenious bit of Moon Knight lore, the group can wipe out the clan of vampires and send a message that New York is under the protection of the Fist of Khonshu and his mission. The fight is quick and only a single representative from the conclave survives. The issue comes to a close with a tease at the return of a previous villain, playing on the split focus the series has employed throughout its run.
MacKay's script for this issue does a great job capping off the Tutor plot, with an effortless approach to dismantling the pyramid scheme. After the more drawn-out and overwhelming fights with Grand Mal and Mean in previous issues, it's refreshing to see Moon Knight and company clear out the top-heavy structure of Tutor's enterprise. MacKay's voice for Mr. Knight and the other personalities of Marc helps to bolster the issue with its lack of action, letting his grandstanding carry the book until their plan is ready to go.
The execution of the plan is also a great showcase of MacKay's grip on the character, pulling the priestly aspect of the Fist of Khonshu role to consecrate the sprinkler water. The move gives the team a leg up on the vampires and paired with Tigra's silver-tipped claws makes the fight like cutting through butter. The tension and interplay between the characters drive the plot forward rather than the over-the-top action of previous issues, and MacKay ensures that every word on the page moves the story forward.
The shift in focus from heavy action to a more character-driven plot benefits from the rotation of Alessandro Cappuccio to Sabbatini. Cappuccio's work in the last few issues has brought a new dimension to the action and emotion that Moon Knight can evoke in his foes, so seeing the art style shift to a less kinetic one is an interesting decision. While Sabbatini doesn't capture the same frantic energy of the last few issues, it makes up for it in the more dialogue-heavy and emotional sequences.
Reese and Soldier's conversation before the sprinkle plan is a standout moment, with Sabbatini's linework and shading playing up the regret and confidence of the former Hydra agent. The two pages, bolstered by a deep blue that Rosenberg employs to great effect, give a melancholy in its linework, focusing on facial expressions and Reese's reaction, putting the character in frame rather than the actions to tee up Moon Knight's plan. Sabbatini's decision to do this conveys that sense of character first, and action second, giving the issue an edge that sets it apart from Cappuccio's work.
Just because Sabbatini's linework thrives with the quieter moments, doesn't mean the action in the issue isn't well rendered. Once the sprinklers become a delivery system for holy water, the art shifts, and new energy is infused into the linework. Sabbatini bridges these modes with an excellent full-page image of Mr. Knight and Tigra under an umbrella as the water spews, and the vamps shrug off the sprinklers. After Moon Knight says his prayer, the art and paneling explode into a more action-focused layout, and Rosenberg's coloring adds the orange/yellows of flaming vampires to break up the heavy blues.
The falling water creates a visual accent to the sequence that feeds into the action, using varying lines to convey the movement of the falling water. That linework bolsters the fighting and the breaking into smaller, more concise panels works in step to speed up the flow of the battle. Rosenberg's coloring accentuates the water lines and uses the flames of the dying vampires to contrast the typical palette of blues and greens. For a few panels, the background shifts to muted reds and a darker orange, which don't contain the flaring color effect that the blue and whites do. That simpler background enhances the action inside the panels, before returning to the more grandstanding expression through the blue and white palette.

I saw you on tv for the last 10 minutes of the show. What you were saying made me think. So I went out and got your book The Automatic Millionaire. I am inspired. I re-started my 401k and have all my accounts set up for automatic payments. I doubled what I put down on the principal of my mortgage. I have added a college fund for my child. Thanks for getting me off the couch potato money hole I was sitting on.


It took three trips, and each one I could not fault the staff, all helpful, having a laugh in Thai & English .
Only multi if you also purchased a multi entry reentry permit, 3800 baht, also it is not a visa it is an extension of stay based on marriage.
Well I am, so sorry for my inappropriate terms used in parts of my post.
